The 18th and first day of the first leg of National did not smile on the two Ile-de-France teams in the running.
A setback for the Red Star
Undefeated for eight games (5 wins, 3 draws), the Red Star fell from above in Villefranche.
The best defense in the championship, which was down 2-0 after thirty minutes, conceded three goals for the first time this season.
If Habib Beye multiplied the changes and hope had returned with the nice reduction in the score of Issouf Macalou (2-1, 70th), 6th goal of the season, the Red Star who pushed - header from Ndoye who just passed next door (75th) -, was surprised a 3rd time (3-1, 78th).
Habib Beye's team remains on the podium (3rd) but they missed a great opportunity to temporarily take over the leader's chair by putting pressure on Versailles and Martigues who will play their match next Friday.

Paris 13 Atletico cracks again at the end of the match
It's still a very bad operation for Paris 13 Atletico, now penultimate.
Vincent Bordot's team lost to Saint-Brieuc, direct competitor for the maintenance, which passed him in the standings.
At the end of the first period, Paris 13 could have obtained a penalty for a foul in the box on Adama Sidibé.
On a very delicate ground, the two teams were neutralized in the second half.
But the Parisians cracked on an exceptional return scissor from Icham Benkaïd (1-0, 80th).
A scenario reminiscent of that experienced before the Christmas break when Paris 13 Atletico also lost at the end of the match at Versailles and on an individual feat, a magnificent strike signed Loïc Damour.
